The system uses a digital alphanumeric display to provide real-time data and status updates.
: Used to acknowledge and silence acoustic alarms, reset faults, or enter the programming menu. Industry Surplus Australia Operation Modes
All timings and thresholds are programmable on the system. This includes: Start Delay: Time to wait before starting after mains fail. Stop Delay: Cooling-down time before shutdown.
Beyond automation, the AC01 continuously monitors key parameters: pramac ac 01 generator monitor control system ac01 mp ac01c

: In the event of a mains failure, the AC-01 opens the mains contactor (CR) and initiates a starting sequence with up to 5 attempts .
: Monitors battery voltage, charging current, and various engine status inputs/outputs. The system uses a digital alphanumeric display to
The AC-01 mitigates risks by linking real-time engine telemetry with an integrated digital display and flashing fault indicator lights. When values cross critical safety parameters, the module alerts operators or executes an automated engine shutdown.

The standard programming procedure includes:
It continuously monitors the 3-phase mains voltage. If the voltage fails or goes out of set limits, it opens the mains contactor and initiates the generator start sequence. This includes: Start Delay: Time to wait before
The system generates visual (LED indicators) and audible alarms for critical conditions with configurable immediate or delayed shutdown responses:
The AC-01 serves as the central "brain" of the generator, managing the following operations:
